Jewelry of the Heart

Dawn Pierro (http://www.etsy.com/shop/turtlemoonjewelry) created this lovely jewelry for me. A dear friend surprised me with the earrings as an early birthday present. Dawn created a matching necklace and bracelet as an early birthday present from my husband. The pieces have stars, hearts, eternity spirals, and sparkling beads in light blue and lavender on them with the word GRACS (=GRACE). I am using GRACS as my signature for the artwork I'm doing; it is a combination of the first letters of my son's name (Graham), and my initials. I was overwhelmed with the personal meaningfulness of this jewelry. I am so grateful to have these true gifts of the heart.

About Me

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. I was so happy to have a daughter and a son. They were the focus of my life. Two years ago my 22 year old college senior son died in a tragic accident. The shock and trauma has sent me into a search for meaning. Eight months ago poetry started flowing through me. I believe that the poems are meant to be shared. They are helping me to heal. I hope that they might help others also.
